QUICK TIPS FOR LOWERING THE FAT IN CHOCOLATE DESSERTS: For those of us that have to give in...
Use unsweetened cocoa, with just one gram of fat per tablespoon, in place of baking chocolate for chocolate flavor with less fat--in some recipes. Replace some of the oil or shortening with fruit purees--apple, prune, or banana. Purees also add moisture to recipes. Use a reduced-fat spread in place of some of the stick margarine or butter. You may need to adjust the recipe to compensate for additional water contained in the spread. Use reduced-fat or nonfat dairy products--milk, yogurt, sour cream, cream cheese, cottage cheese whenever possible. Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
